He certainly looks like the genuine article.
I look forward to seeing him fight again, and am hopeful but, kinda l
ike w/Conor McGreger, I need to see a bit more before I start lobbying for a title fight.

Yeah, he was on the main card against Thiago. He looked like a 185'er out there. Based on his comments post fight, I'm guessing he is trying to work on his ground game. He could be vulnerable to a high level grappler.

One of the reasons I'd like the UFC to build him up slowly. Keep him against decent mid level strikers for a couple fights, let him build up his game a bit & get a name for himself.

Brenneman and High>>>>>>>>>WTF Edwards??? And a win over today's Thiago doesn't really mean much despite how much DW likes the guy beating 2 AKA guys.

What on earth made you think that would be a notable "UFC Vet" to list, let alone a notable name period?

brenneman, while it pains me to admit this... was not very good at welterweight in the ufc... his grappling centred attack was nullified by the larger opponents.
And while high and brenneman are good, i was strictly comparing their first 2 ufc fights, and you'd be crazy to say that erick silva's first 2 opponents were tougher than thatchs, even though thiago & Edwards weren't exactly on tears when they lost

I'll give you Paulo Thiago, but I don't think the skill discrepancy is that much greater particularly since Carlos Prater has had more wins than both Justin Edwards and Paulo Thiago combined and Paulo Thiago was 2-2 (in his last four) going into that fight and Justin Edwards was 1-1.
